However, the latest news suggests more people are being treated to this upgrade with recent reports suggesting those in areas such as Austria, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the UK have been able to access this download.

So what's new from Samsung?

Along with the usual security patches there's two main reasons to get this system update on your Note 9.

The first bonus extra offers the ability to schedule the new Night Mode on the device with the phone then automatically changing to a darker colour scheme.

Night Mode was introduced in Samsung's last One UI update and makes the screen much easier on the eyes when the sun goes down.

Until now, Note 9 owners had to switch this option on when they wanted to use it but the scheduling changes that with things automatically switching at a set time.

Next up there's a significant change to the front-facing camera with Samsung now adding two modes to shoot your selfies with.

These include a wider angle for group images and more close up when you just want a giant picture of your face.

This camera update was added to the Galaxy S10 and S9 phones and Note 9 users are sure to welcome this change.

It's worth noting that it's likely those devices that aren't tied to a network will get this update first but you can check to see if your phone is ready by heading to Settings > Software update > Download and install.

The news of this update comes as the Galaxy Note 9 has seen some big discounts from retailers and on Samsung's own store.

Retailers, including Samsung's own store, have cut prices with the Note 9 (with Hybrid SIM) currently available for £649.

Those deals are already good but there's a way to cut the cost even further.

Samsung continues to offer its trade-in scheme which allows customers to hand over their old handsets and get even more money off a new device.

For example, when buying the Note 9 you can hand over an S9+ and get £350 off the price reducing the total bill to under £300.

There's even the option for Apple fans to upgrade to a Note 9 at a cheaper price with Samsung offering £200 off if you hand over an iPhone 7 or £300 if you have an iPhone 8.
